Pardon me
I stand corrected
Shit may have been a bit strong
The rest was spot on IMO
I wasn't trying to detract from the great display tonite
Is that better?

Gonna have to get used to teams being called shit by so called pundits, media and some of our more miserable fans everytime we steamroll someone. Nowt to with us making teams play shit. Clear example from BT shite with McPointy talking about how shit SB's defence was only to show our forwards pressing them like fuck into a mistake... yeah nowt to do with us disrupting their game...just plain shite they were. Nervy start but I loved that. More of same. Hope we batter stoke. Night Blues and safe trip home travelling Blues. CTID

Yeah, but just wait and watch while the teams we do it to slowly gets better. First dodgy European teams, then relegation candidates, then midtable, then a title contender.

They will eat their words eventually, we just get to enjoy the process
 
It would be nice to see Angeliño or Aleix Garcia play in the home leg.

There's in front of a home crowd, tie already over. Even Pellegrini would have used one or two as a sub.
 
It's funny what a bit of enthusiasm and hard work can do isn't it? Last year for whatever reason not many were interested, this year it's clear they're ready to run their hearts out for pep.

Pelligrini would have given DeMichaelis and Bony a run out
 
Steaua were fuckin shit, but you can only beat what's in front of you. We still have a very long way to go, but all things considered it was a good performance. There were a few comical mistakes in the early stages and some proper nervy moments which against better opposition could have proved fatal, but we weathered the early nerves and went on to produce an accomplished display. The heartening thing is the change in formation and the application of a tactical plan which has been sorely missing over the last 3 years.

We set up as a 4123 which is my favoured formation and the fluidity of our play blew me away at times. Aguero's 2nd goal was a true master class of passing, movement and finishing and to think we still have Kompany, Sane, Gundogan and possibly Yaya and Nasri to come back. I can honestly say that if we fall short and win nothing this season it wouldn't bother me one jot, the most important thing for me is halting our decline, getting back to where we used to be and then surpassing it to the levels we've all dreamed of.

Sterling was my MoTM followed by Nolito. My two wishes are that some of our doubting fans get off the Sterling's back and start supporting him as one of our own and that he fucks England off and dedicates his career to Manchester City.
 
The Guardian match report shows possession at 50/50. Daniel Taylor is indeed a ****.
 
With a good tactics foundation, our players superior physical qualities shine.

I said physical. Technically this team of Pep cant surpass his older children aka barca and bayern, but he'll soon realize what this third son is capable of. Life never stops to amaze you.

In the last game when Sunderland made it even we still got the energy and will to press for the win.

Isn't it time for the real physical test in Stoke.

ugh this is so true.

Not too sure about Otamendi holding up in a Pep system but he did well tonight and seeing how our fullbacks are playing now I really wish we had gone out and bought an attacking minded fullback to put into the mix. I hope we see Angelino next week along with the other young players
 
That was majestic at times. And we've still got Kompany, Gundogan, and Bravo to come in.

This gon be good.
 
Proof if needed that Pep will prepare for every single game correctly and go out to win in a certain way. Nothing left to chance, no massaging egos, just a well drilled outfit getting closer and closer to his masterplan.

Kolarov looks a different player. Sterling has been given a new leash of life, excellent tonight. Nolito made £13.8 million look like a bargain. Aguero deserves enormous credit for recovering from two penalty misses. Silva was great, always nice to see him score. De Bruyne's pass for Nolito's goal was pure class. Fernando and Fernandinho both defensively solid. Stones had a quiet game which is the biggest praise you can give a CB, looked right at home coming into midfield. Otamendi also looked very comfortable when it came to passing. Would've liked to see Iheanacho and Navas- think it would've been seven or eight if they'd had twenty minutes against that slow defence- but understand why they didn't come on.

Looking back now it seems weird to think we were ever worried.

Erm, Fernando?
 
If it'd provid good karma I'd listen to nsync. No matter how much my ears would bleed.
